| 244399 | 2004-06-14 10:41:00 | Hi I was mucking around in Linux trying to upload some files to my website (http://coolpcs.orcon.net.nz). Discovered this program called Smb4K. It scanned the ¨network¨ and found some networks!! One was called ¨STRATHMORE¨ (name of A school up the road here in Tokoroa), another was ¨ENTIRE NETWORK¨ and another was ¨SOMERVILLE¨. Maybe its something to do with my ISP. I´m on a local wireless scheme (http://southwaikato.net.nz/). Anyway, went into the STRATHMORE one and discovered two of the computers were accessable (but had passwords on them). They had names like ROOM02, PRINCAPLE, OFFICE COMPUTER, ROOM07, and so on. There was a computer in the ENTIRE NETWORK thingy that I was able to read and save files to the C drive!! Isn´t that a bad effort from the system administrator??!!! Forrest44 |

| 244401 | 2004-06-14 11:16:00 | Dunno but if you get caught your in serious trouble. I'd also be wary that you don't have a 2 way street there. Cheers Murray P |

| 244404 | 2004-06-14 13:01:00 | Two things here: Grab a copy of nmap and port-scan them, see what's up and running Go here and grab a copy of IP Scan (www.radmin.com) and run it Go to atstake.com (www.atstake.com), click Downloads and grab a copy of lc5 ;-) Then, go to the relevant people with your findings :-) You wouldnt be talking about this smb4k would you: sal.neoburn.net Hope this puts you on the right path Chill. P.S. No, you're not a cracker, nor a hacker, just somebody who's chanced across an open network. Dont get Crackers and Hackers mixed up either :-) |
